Khaled Hafez

Khaled Hafez (b. 1963, Egypt) explores the complex nature of identity and the factors that shape it through painting, photography, installation, interdisciplinary art, video, and film. With a focus on his native Egypt, Hafez traces the amalgamation of cultural elements that have surfaced over the last five decades, as the country has experienced significant socioeconomic changes, increased militarization, and intense periods of political upheaval.
